Geneva's city authorities have decided to step up the fight against crime in the city and have increased the number of police officers by 25 percent.
According to a study published on Tuesday, since 2004, crime in Switzerland has been on the rise, while official statistics show that Geneva is the most dangerous city in the country.
The topic of security has become topical again in Switzerland after the son of an official of an international institution was attacked in Geneva this summer.
After that, the United Nations sent a letter to its employees warning them that walking in the center of Geneva at night can be dangerous.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Switzerland, Micheline Calmy Rey, stated that Geneva's priority is a good reception of international organizations, especially when it comes to their security.
According to France Presse, because of the mild criminal law, it is increasingly happening that criminal groups choose Switzerland for their crimes.
The criminal law in Switzerland was recently reformed and now it is possible to replace prison sentences with fines, which further encouraged the arrival of organized criminal groups.
